What's your favorite platform for buying shows and movies digitally? (kbin.projectsegfau.lt)

My favorite platform is iTunes, because it lets you download the files for offline viewing, and removing the DRM is trivially simple.

Sorry for the rant but I only buy music from Bandcamp because it's DRM-free. I don't want to rely on obscure proprietary programs to remove DRM, and also most of the shows I would buy are region-restricted which means that I cannot legally buy them.

But yes, since I'm an Apple user, I go to iTunes when I want to rent a movie (maybe twice a year).

Aren’t DRM removal tools generally open source though?

I don’t disagree with the sentiment at all. If I can buy something without DRM, I will.
